The First Descendant Nazeistra’s Devotion – How to Get and Best Build

In this article, we have included a guide on how to get Nazeistra’s Devotion and what is the best build for it, what Weapon Modules are great for this weapon.

Best Build for Nazeistra’s Devotion in The First Descendant

Since Hand Cannons are not known for having the best Fire Rate, we’ll do our best to make each of those shots count (and improve that Fire Rate a bit). The best build for Nazeistra’s Devotion contains buffs to its ATK, Critical Hits, Fire Rate, and Weak Points (since its ability is focused on them). Here’s our best build for Nazeistra’s Devotion, but bear in mind that best builds are subjective, and your experience and impressions might differ from ours. 

Concentration Priority	Increases weapon’s Critical Hit Damage and Reload Time
Concentrate Support Ammo	Increases weapon’s Magazine capacity and Critical Hit Damage
Fire Rate Up	Increases weapon’s Fire Rate
Marksman	Increases weapon’s Critical Hit Rate and ATK
Rifling Reinforcement	Increases weapon’s ATK
Sharpshooter	Increases weapon’s ATK and Critical Hit Rate
Weak Point Insight	Increases weapon’s Weak Point Damage and Critical Hit Rate
Weak Point Sight	Increases weapon’s Weak Point damage

Nazeistra’s Devotion is a great sidearm to have in The First Descendant, due to the ability to reduce the target’s DEF (and the ability to restore Shields to hit teammates). Every Descendant will benefit from this weapon, but it is best in the hands of support-orientated characters, like Enzo and Jayber.
